Important Distinction

WRONG: demonizing Kabru for killing people and being manipulative

RIGHT: demonizing Kabru for telling Rin her smile is cute, teasing her about being clearly upset when he gives attention to other woman, kissing her on the mouth with a wink because haha sorry it was the only way haha, and then turning around and going Yeah She’s Like A Sister To Me :)

Today’s Thistle is: School photo :)

when i dont know enough in an area of my special interest

Rewatching Dungeon Meshi and noticing that Marcille is genuinely terrible at basic non-magical medicine. After Chilchuck gets attacked by a mimic, she automatically assumes he's dead without checking much of anything. Then when Laios gets food poisoning, she tries to listen to his heartbeat through his armor and panics when she hears nothing.

Really brings home how their group is incomplete without Falin.

Also, Laios not recognizing Kabru but recognizing Kuro (because he's a kobold) when they come across Kabru's party dead for the second time is so... Laios.

Just finished Dungeon Meshi, I've decided I love it

what if thistle had confronted senshi before the story started?
